This isn't really about us, this is about you and the creations you are capable of that defy your idea of possible.

How do you bring your most fantastic dreams to functional reality, in collaboration, as a direct contribution to a beautiful new world?

This is why we created NEI, as an answer to the call of creation.

We believe the creative process is the greatest catalyst for human development. The journey of the creator is one that takes us past all the little boxes and all the how it's done and all the excuses into the transcendent journey of our own fundamental capacity to contribute. Whether an "art" installation, a community, a new financial instrument, or a new form of clean energy, creating is healing and transformational for Self and Society.

We offer personal and group programs based on the transformative power of the creative process online, at our own studio in Boulder, Colorado, USA and hosted locations internationally with our partners.

NEI is also experiencing deep transformation.

An effort is now underway to embrace our social justice mission of creating an equitable new world, expand into the EU and move our base of operations from Boulder to Motovun, Croatia, a beautiful medieval hill town in central Istria. With the move and the new Motovun Transformational Arts Center comes a substantial expansion in the catalog of offerings and member services as well as new strategic partnerships with world class creators.

Among the additions are a multidisciplinary artist in residence program, masterclasses, Art of Hosting trainings, creatorship development programs for changemakers and much more.

This evolution also brings a structural development as we move toward a non profit organization (NPO) model aligned with our belief that all of welcome in this world and steps must be taken to remedy a deeply imbalanced social and educational system globally.

Founded by Lawrence and Alysia Kampf, two creators that found a shared vision of a new world and a hunger to help people develop their capacity to create it. NEI combines their life's work in supporting the development of the planet's greatest renewable resource. People!

Definitely more on the practical side, I am a protector. My passion is providing a supportive environment where others can find their creativity and discover new ideas that broaden their sense of themselves and the world.

An architect by training, I have worked on projects around the globe. The most memorable part of all those projects for me is, The People. Being involved with people creating is soul nourishing and inspiring.

She has worked primarily with local and state government and has acted as a “resource bridge” to increase the flow of government resources to community driven projects.
